The Ga. Meter Dangerous.

The meters which gas companies intro
drce into our houses are put together
with solder that melts at & low degree of
heat. When fire originates near a gas
meter the heat Very soon causes it to fall
apart, and the unchecked flow of gas from
the infiuent pipe quickly fills the premises
with roaring and devastating flame.
After every fire, when there is Il total loss
OF the building, blazing stream Of gas
roars OH beneath falling walls and debris,
until measures are taken to stop the sup
ply of gas from the street mains. With
these facts before everybody's eyes it
seems strange that no attempt is made to
have meters differently constructed. or
some way devised to prevent the loss that
necessarily results from the present state
OF things. The Engineer.

WAKEFlELD'S MISFORTUNE.

a Michigan Village Almost Completely
Wiped Out by Fire - Forty Houses
Burned-LOss, About $1OO,OOO-Many
Families Homeless and Penniless.
DETROIT, Mich, Dec 27-The fire which
broke out inWaketield Mich, Sunday night
burned the best part of the town. The total
loss is estimated at 100000 The in
surance is small The fire started in a
variety theater and was caused by a
monkey which overturned lamp. Among
the principal buildings burned are the Wake
field Bank, Haywood, Westcott & Murray's
large general store, the post-ofice, r. A.
Morris jewelry store, MlIenthal's clothing
store, the Coliseum Theater, in which the
fire started, a dozen saloons and a large
number of dwelling houses-about forty
buildings in ALL A great deal of merchan-
disc was saved from the burning buildings.
Many families are homeless and pennileSs
The burned district extends from the
Perry House on Front street to a point
nearly opposite the Hotel DeMiner on Sun
day Lake street All the buildings on Front
street were burned except the Perry House,
which was saved by means of wet blankets
The town was without fire apparatus, and
the flames were staid only through tearing
down MillenthalPs clothing store and the
use of snow and water handled with
buckets
The principal sufferers will no doub5 re-
build at once. Some of them have already
leased other buildings and are now moving
into them to be ready for business to-day.
Had there been no snow on the roofs and
on the ground there is little doubt that the
whole town would have been swept away
A great deal of credit is to be given to the
miners of the Sunday Lake, Brotherton and
Iron Chief mines, who poured into town by
hundreds and lent willing hand to quench
the flames
There was great excitement during the
progress of the fire The streets We're
filed with hatless women their hair stream
ing eagerly searching for lost children, and
men and women wringing their hands as
they saw their homes on fire. The amount
of thievery usual at fires in this coun-
try was repeated. Large quantities
of liquor were stolen and consumed,
boxes of cigars and caddies of tobacco,
clothing and food were carried off, and
lawlessness generally prevailed. Several
merchants were threatened by toughs with
drawn revolvers while trying to protect
their goods Thomas Lewis, keeper of the
Sunday Lake Hotel, a house of ill-fame, was
shot through the left thigh by Mike OBrjen,
who claims to have shot in self-defense.
